How it works
During radiotherapy, chemotherapy, abdominal infection, or any major surgeries, the dead cells in the body start releasing a chemical called serotonin directly into the blood. Later, this stimulates special centers in the body that are responsible for inducing vomiting in your child. Giving Ondisun Drop just before the procedure helps block the effect of this chemical on vomiting centers of the brain and prevents vomiting.
Quick Tips
Ondisun Drop effectively controls nausea and bouts of vomiting reflex in children undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy sessions. It is fast-acting and starts working within 30 minutes. Practice self-care measures: Give plenty of fluids to your child to avoid dehydration, avoid giving fried and spicy food or heavy meals to your child, and ensure that your child eats slowly and in small proportions.

Frequently asked questions
What is Ondisun Drop used for?
Ondisun Drop is typically prescribed to prevent vomiting before major surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy sessions. It may also be used to treat vomiting caused by stomach diseases. Always follow the recommended dosage and consult your child's doctor for best results.
What if my child takes too much Ondisun Drop?
While an accidental overdose of Ondisun Drop is unlikely to cause harm, it's essential to consult your child's doctor immediately. Excessive intake may lead to serotonin syndrome, characterized by symptoms such as excessive sleepiness, agitation, rapid heartbeat, and seizures. If you notice any of these symptoms, seek medical attention promptly.
How should Ondisun Drop be stored?
Store Ondisun Drop at room temperature, in a dry place, away from direct heat and light. Keep all medications out of reach and sight of children to avoid accidental intake.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Ondisun Drop?
Ondisun Drop may interact with other medications or substances. Inform your child's doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting Ondisun Drop. Also, consult with your child's doctor before giving any additional medication.
In what conditions do I need to call my child's doctor right away?
Contact your child's doctor immediately if your child experiences symptoms of serotonin syndrome, including irregular heartbeat, green-colored vomiting, inability to pass wind, pale skin and eyes, dark-colored urine, restlessness, and insomnia.
My child is having a migraine and is on medication. Can I give Ondisun Drop along with it?
Avoid combining Ondisun Drop with medications used to treat depression or migraine, as this may increase the risk of serotonin syndrome. Consult your child's doctor before giving any additional medication to ensure safe and effective treatment.
